I t may pay you to take a fresh look at Solvay Ammonium Bicarbonate Sit back and think a minute about the diverse properties of Ammonium Bicarbonate. One of them may profitably fit a new product or process you're planning. For example . . . need an economical source of gas? At 300°F. one pound of this Solvay product will produce 21 cu. ft. of gas with no residue—more than three times as much as sodium bicarbonate. Yet at 80°F. there's only a trace of decomposition after 5 hours. Looking for a highly effective acid neutralizer that is also mild? One pound of Solvay® Ammonium Bicarbonate will neutralize 0.46 lb. of hydrochloric acid. The same amount of borax will only neutralize 0.19 lb. Compare the pH of 1% solutions of these chemicals—7.8 and 9.2, respectively. If you'd like a test sample or have a question, please write us. No obligation.
